Re: CG members photo album

Yeah... nice.. did you visit Agra fort and Fatehpur sikri? where all did you visit? We had gone there for a trip from Office and it was real fun.. we were about 40 people together. You can guess now... Its very close for us than for folks from Mumbai..

.. and what's written there on your T-shirt? Stop Hacking.. <then what?>?

Re: CG members photo album

While I did visit the Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri was unfortunately not on the guided tour. I guess, this place is one that I sorely missed - hearing from the reactions of people around me.

The tour operator instead chose to take us to Mathura and Vrindavan. I have nothing against these places, but would have preferred Fatehpur Sikri anyday.

(At the Mathura Temple, the security guards didnt let me in on attempt 1 because they said that my rucksack was too big , this in spite of the fact that I had deposited my cameras, cellphone et al. Undeterred, when I made a second attempt, they searched me thoroughly - if you know what I mean , and on searching my bag found a swiss knife and a USB stick. They didn't recognize / understand the knife, and also didn't understand what the USB stick does and therefore didn't let me in again. )

Yeah, I envy Delhi-ites for their great location and scenic places!

I guess, as far as historical significance and beauty goes, Bombay diminishes in comparison. Fortunately, we have the film industry and the beach - else, there would have been a little more than crowded trains, and a population of 15 mn to be proud of.

I was on vacation in North India starting with Udaipur in Rajashtan, followed by Jaipur. From Jaipur we came to Delhi and finally back home to Bombay - spending 3 nights in each of these places.

Seeing photos posted by Kiran earlier, I also wished to visit Jaisalmer, but that would be in the direction opposite to Delhi (from Udaipur) and I had to leave it for later - Delhi and Agra being on my priorities for this trip.

It was wonderful. I always complained of having seen too little of North India, and with this trip, I can finally claim to have seen a little.

Need to come back...

Here is a pic of mine at the Qutb-Minar (the world's tallest brick structure standing and 800 years old) in Delhi...

And here is a better photo of the Qutb-Minar, (better because it is one taken by me, and importantly, without me in it )...
